Title
Amending Section 33.13(1) of the Madison General Ordinances to provide that, if the Common Council President serves less than a full year, the new Common Council President may appoint a new Common Council Executive Committee.
Body
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: Sec. 33.13 provides that the members CCEC appointed by the Common Council President serve a one year term. This coincides with the presumed one year term of the Council President under sec. 62.09(8)(e), Stats., and sec. 2.205, MGO. However, neither of those laws require a one year term for the Council President, and the Council could determine a shorter term for the Council President. In addition, the Council President may resign or otherwise vacate the position during the term.

This amendment provides that, in the event the Council President does not serve the full one year term, the new Council President may appoint new members to the CCEC.
